before this, and as a side comment: i know there have been thousands of posts just like this one, but maybe, with some luck, a random comment could genuinely save my lifewhat do i do? im from Argentina, im 17 years old and just 1 month away from turning 18. honestly, i don’t know what to do. i have no money and no source of income. i didn’t enroll in university because i felt like all universities in Argentina were useless, just like the people i could end up meeting there. i thought about studying abroad, but it seemed like too much effort.i have enough resources (PC, laptop, phones), but not enough money to bring several of the ideas i’ve had to life in order to generate something. and i have about a month left before my parents start pressuring me to get a job at burger king or some factory because “this house isn’t a shelter for lazy people"what option do you think is viable for me? what can I invest my time and money into that would actually be worth it? or is there a way to find a path forward? what would you do if you were in my situation?
>>62248312What ideas? Are you cute? Sell socks on the train in order to pay for a claude/chatgpt/google subscription and then run some shitty online business or scam
>>62248312Lotta gray in that beard for you to be young enough to be this dumb.You could learn to code and then do remote work for an American company. Yes, they're laying off shitloads of programmers right now, but they're still hiring people to do remote work because you're dirt cheap compared to American workers.Get an internet connection and a reasonably decent computer and you can do remote work for lots of different things. Fuck, a motel in Utah I stayed at a couple of years ago had a "virtual check-in" kiosk where some foreigner was handling customer check-ins with low-bitrate webcam video. The check-in kiosk probably had the customer service chick switching between a dozen different motels as needed so she was kept continuously busy.They won't pay you as much as an American but they'll probably pay you more than you could make at some taco factory in Argentina.
>>62248736i understand your point, but there are so many work models that are already overdone and exploited that finding a viable one becomes a part-time job in itself. still, it made me think along with the comment above, and i think i could come up with something.
>>62249436I mean, you could start your own company of some sort, but to do that, you need capital and an idea. And usually the ideas that let someone start a successful business require more education than just high school.One of my friends had a great idea and started a business based upon it. He had to fight his former university to get them to allow him to use his own patents from his Ph.D. research, then fight vulture capitalists who kept trying to destroy their own investment in his company in order to shore up their losing investments in other companies. In the end he made out with around $50 million dollars of the $400 million dollar company. Which is not bad at all. But to found that company, he had to do four years of undergrad and then five years of Ph.D. research to figure out how things were gonna work.If you just start a lawnmowing service then you're competing with the 90% of the population who could also start a lawnmowing service, and your potential income is limited accordingly.Anyway, another option is to try to position yourself as a middleman in major financial transactions. But to do that you need to be able to bring people together and convince both parties that they are obligated to pay you for that service. Realtors do that with contracts that one party has to sign to list the property, and another party has to sign to buy the property, for example.
>>62248312>i have enough resources (PC, laptop, phones), but not enough money to bring several of the ideas i’ve had to life in order to generate something.And for this, in this case what you need to do is go find an investor and somehow convince that investor to invest in a business you are starting, so that you have the money to build whatever it is.Since you mentioned computers and phones, I have to assume it's some sort of app or website or software system. In which case, you need to know how to code, or at least how to use AI to code things for you.Just to note, you will have to do this while preventing the investor from stealing your idea and just doing it himself, which is what Mark Zuckerberg did to the Winklevoss twins when he stole Facebook from them.
>>62248312Even though the retarded subhumans on /biz/ will disagree with it because they're broke losers, if you have no idea what to do then you should always go to college anyways. Work a part time job for a year and then go to college next year. WHILE you're doing that, research business ideas
>>62248312move to BA and go to some community college thereill be there in october , we can link up and you can teach me some monkey etiquette
>>62248312fellow argie here. You just said "lol I can study abroad" "but too much effort tee hee"? get outta here you rich faggot. >all universities are useless here. People I could meet are not worth my time fuck you entitled bitch I hope you die poor
>>62248312this what I would do>go to college live it up in BA for a few years >try to get into grad school in the USA >grift off being a "Latino" once we have a democrat president back in officeI'm sippin some mate right now btw
>>62248312what about milei?
do they have burger king in argentianwhy
>>62252132They have Wendy's. I visited BA about a year ago. Prices are about 20% higher than in the U.S. for the same items, and they did not allow free refills on sodas (so effectively the prices were even higher).Semi-ironically, prices at the high-end restaurants are much MUCH lower than in the U.S., because most people can't afford to just go out to them whenever they feel like it.Picrelated was my favorite restaurant that I tried there, and it was about $36 for a meal that I easily would have had to pay $80 for in the U.S. It's near Plaza Serrano in the Palermo district.
>>62252132So I googled the answer and the answer is yes.>Burger King in Argentina reflects the beef culture with their BK 5.0 offering - five patties of beef in a single sandwich.Wish I'd known about this, I might have tried it.
